The word "chief" will no longer be used in reference to job titles in the San Francisco Schools

Possible replacements: tyrant, führer, darth

The word “chief” will no longer be used in reference to job titles in the San Francisco Unified School District in an effort, school officials said, to avoid the word’s connotation with Native Americans. A replacement term has not been determined.
